One of the growing industries all over
the world is the bottling industry of mineral water. As the amount of
drinkable water is becoming lesser every day, the people need the water
to keep them healthy and alive. The need for water is undeniable and no
living thing can stay alive without it. The mineral water bottling
industry is now not only present in the United States, but it is present
in every country of the world and is growing tremendously. Mineral
water bottling plants are growing like mushrooms all over the planet and
it seems to be the most profitable business in the current times and a
promising business for the future as well. But managing a mineral water
bottling plant is not as easy as it seems and the profit earned through
it is not easy money. Let’s take a sneak peek into the water bottling
industry and see how they manage to do it.
The first step begins with the storage of ordinary tap water in a huge storage tank. The storage tank is equipped with a
liquid level indicator
to let the staff learn about the actual amount of water present in the
storage tank. After the water has been filled to the maximum, the inlet
of water is turned off and a sample is taken out of the storage tank
through a small tap at the bottom. The sample is sent to a laboratory
where it is tested and the number of contamination and the type of
bacteria are determined. Reading the report generated by the lab, the
required treatment is planned and the processing begins.
Beginning
the processing treatment, the water is passed through the first set of
filters. This filter removes dust from the water and makes the water
become clearer. After the water has gone through the first set of
filters, it is stored in another water tank and the new level of water
is again measured on the liquid level indicator. There is a positive
change in the liquid level when measured again because when a large
number of contamination have been removed, the water level comes down.
Now
the water is let out of this measuring storage tank, passed through a
lot more filters of different kinds which also help to kill the smaller
type of bacteria and then when the water is nearly in the pure form, it
is again accumulated in a tank and chlorine is added to kill all the
bacteria that may have been still present in it. Finally the water is
passed through a filter which soaks all the chlorine in it and using the
ultrasonic level indicator to maintain the right level of liquid in bottle, the water is filled in the bottles and ready to be shipped.
